Support a Scholar
Your gift prepares a young man
for a life of consequence.
For more than two decades, the Institute has been sustained by a quiet community of donors who believe that extraordinary young men in every community of this country deserve the apprenticeship that builds exemplary lives.
Why Give
Scholars pay nothing.
Everything is underwritten by people who believe in them.
The program is free of tuition, free of housing fees, free of the quiet costs (meals, transit, books) that often keep talented young men out of rooms where their future is decided.
Every element of that preparation comes from donors like you. A gift of any size continues more than two decades of giving by quiet investors who have produced Rhodes Scholars, federal judges, research physicians, and community leaders.
Give what is meaningful to you. We will steward it with the same seriousness we bring to the scholars themselves.
Make Your Gift
Give in a way that's meaningful to you.
Every gift, of any size, directly supports the preparation of the next class of scholars.
